i hate chocolate mint. most invasive plant lol. i planted one small plant 9 yrs ago and have been killing and digging it up since. great job on the winter sowing. i bet all cool weather crops would do well
😆Absolutely. Mints and some other herbs like lemon balm are the herpes of the plant world. Once you got them you can’t get rid of them. I did end up getting some chocolate mint. I put mine in a pot where hopefully it didn’t spread. It doesn’t even look alive right now but that doesn’t mean anything. We shall see if the pot kept it somewhat contained. And thank you for you kind words. Most everything did really well for me last year. This year I’m doing over 100 jugs. Lots and lots of flowers this year along with everything else. I’m even going to try winter sowing peppers and tomatoes as an experiment for myself. 😊
Thank you. I was very impressed myself it being my first time trying it. Come the end of January I’m starting probably 20 times the amount. I have so many new seeds I wanna start and this is so easy. I’m so excited. I hope you stay in touch and watch the next winter sowing. I’ll show how I start them. 😊❤️
@@shanaphillips5535 😳. I’ve been collecting my jugs all season. I hope I have enough but I doubt it. The new seeds just keep showing up in The mail. I’m addicting to seed trading groups.
@@jencordial same here. I'm on Vancouver Island, but I wish you were my neighbor. Are you saving your own seeds too? I don't think I'll ever have to buy seeds again...lol
@@shanaphillips5535 what a sweet thing to say. I wish you were my neighbor too then I could come peek in your jugs and see all the glorious things you’re growing in them. And yes I save seeds from everything I can. I love to trade on Facebook and grow my collection.
I winter sowed them at the end of January this year. Put half a packet and so far only three have come up. I’m actually very close to Gaithersburg so that was a nice shoutout ! 😅 I hear larkspur is easier to start and the spikes look so similar. Just winter sowed those a few days ago
Your videos are great you have a great way of presenting your methods and a no nonsense way of showing your product Love It!
❤️😊thank you so much. What a lovely comment to read. I appreciate you letting me know you enjoyed watching
Sweet, thank you for showing me the name of the flower I hard planted last year. Now I can get some Canterbury Bells seed to grow again this year.
So happy I could help. I love it. ❤️😊
The dirty look and toss of the leaf. I love it! Thank you for the video!
😂😂😂 you saw that huh? It was wet and icky. Thank you for watching and thank you for your fun comment. It has made me smile. 😊❤️
Het is altijd belangrijk om de vormen en maten van planten in tuinontwerp te variëren
Yes it is. And it also is pleasing ethically. Thanks so much for commenting.
for chocolate mint I get mine from places that sell plants. Like tsc and walmart usually have it
I did end up getting some from a nursery in PA about an hour away last spring. I had it in a fabric pot. I’m hoping it overwintered ok.

That was a very successful winter sowing. Your seedlings were quite large actually. One of the best reveals I've seen.

@@jencordial I've been wintersowing for a few years. I'm hooked. Over 300 jugs last year.

Hi, Whole Foods carries the transplants of chocolate mint in the spring. Thats where I got mine.
Thank you for letting me know this. I’ve been searching for it for a couple years now. 😀
I have .
delphinium is really hard to grow from seeds
Oh. I didn’t know that. Might you have any tips or tricks? Have you ever been successful at growing them?
@@jencordial I have not yet had success. I keep trying every year.

@@c.s.1227 I really like larkspur and they reseed themselves. It is much easier to grow.
@@jencordial I soak mine in a weak tea for a few hours before I try to sow them. I don't always have good luck even then but sometimes it helps.
